Re: [nscumber] Obit: DOWE, Bonnie T. [nee PEMBERTON]


Thanks Bruce.

  

After checking and doing a match & merge in my file, I tend to agree with you.

  

Can anyone on the list confirm this scenario?

  

You can contact either of us "off the list" if necessary.

  

I have Bonnie m/1 Allison on 3 Oct 1954 not 1955.

WEDDING: Johnstone - Kieley

A marriage of interest to many friends took place at 8 o'clock on Wednesday
evening, August 2nd at the home of the bride's mother, when Alice Eileen, only
daughter of Mrs. Daniel Kieley and the late Mr. Kieley became the bride of
Thomas Alton Johnstone, only son of the late Duncan Johnstone, of Salem [sic,
New Salem]. The ceremony was performed by Rev. W.H. Rackham, pastor of Trinity

in Parrsboro. Previous to her marriage the bride was tendered a shower at
which she received many beautiful and useful gifts when a large number of
friends assembled at the home of her mother.
